Remember "NBC News Overnight"? They had a regular segment called "Newsreel" which was a bunch of clips accompanied by the anchor's voiceover.

One night, Newsreel showed then-President Reagan pardoning a turkey for Thanksgiving. And as the camera went for a huge close-up of the bird, guest anchor Andrea Mitchell intoned, "The turkey does not take questions at photo opportunities."

Particularly precious was the TV newsreader who said in horror that they were "slaughtering live turkeys", not apparently catching on that this was (a) the only kind of turkeys that can be slaughtered, and (b) where the turkey she had at dinner came from.

City folk.

Indeed.

I thought then and still think this would make a great campaign spot for Sarah.

President Obama on Wednesday morning pardoned a pair of turkeys - Apple and "feathered understudy" Cider - quipping that "it feels pretty good to stop at least one shellacking this November."

I find this weird. Obama jokes about the fact that representatives that supported his unpopular agenda lost their seats. Still, he doesn't intend to change that agenda, or acknowledge that there's anything wrong with it. The president just has to flash that grin and keep joking his way back into the people's hearts. I mean, it's not like there's anything serious going on.

Well, North Korea, this is stemming from a greater problem where we're all sitting around asking, 'Oh no, what are we going to do?'" Palin said. "We're not having a lot of faith that the White House is going to come out with a strong enough policy to sanction what it is that North Korea is going to do."

"This speaks to a bigger picture here that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy. But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies. We're bound by treaty..."

"South Korean," the co-host corrected.

"Yeah," Palin continued. "We're also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes."

Poor Sarah! People take her seriously!

Yes, despite a slip of the tongue many people make once in a while, she still makes more sense and shows a higher testosterone level than the wuss in the White House who throws like a girl and refuses to stand up for the nation and people he was elected to lead.

Did you notice, that when Sarah Palin was corrected, she acknowledged the error and said South Korea. I'm reminded of when Barack Obama said 57 states, nobody had the balls to correct him. Instead, we were supposed to not comment on his error, and just move on.

I turn the channel or switch stations whenever Obama's voice comes on. I don't believe anything that come out of his mouth, so what he says is of no interest. He doesn't care about me or my children or my city or state. So why should I listen?

This particular quip shows Obama has mastered college humor. I hope it serves him well.

I tend to think that Obama shows a pretty well documented habit of making snide, but deniable, comments... lipstick on a pig is just the most obvious... I think he does it all of the time. He also has a well documented habit of referencing directly his private citizen/organizational opponents and calling them out... think Rush or FOX News.

BUT in this case it's irrelevant if he was actually being snide about Bristol. It's not *deniable* that he noticed DWTS and that DWTS was in his mind. This is what he's thinking about and when he needed to pull up an example that's the one he pulled up. He could be speaking with utter good-will and it makes no difference. We all know what has been on the television in the White House and what *occupies* the President's thoughts.

He mentioned it, people will think of Bristol and her mother, and Obama has once again elevated his opponents to the level of the office of the president.

If he did it on purpose or simply didn't *think*, it makes no difference.

My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…
